Mott MacDonald-Arup Joint Venture awarded contract to provide design consultancy services for the Midfield Development at Hong Kong International Airport

A joint venture of Mott MacDonald and Arup has been appointed by
the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA) to provide full design
consultancy services and construction support services for the
Phase 1 Development of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA)
Midfield.

Phase 1 of the project, which is scheduled to be complete in 2015,
will include a new midfield concourse with 11 bridge-served stands
and 9 operational stands to meet future demand at the
airport.

The joint venture will be supported by architect Aedas, engineer
Atkins and a range of other specialist consultants in delivering
the new facility.

“The midfield area located between the two runways is the last
piece of airside land on the airport island available for
large-scale development. We are delighted to take part in the
project, helping to mark a significant milestone for the
development of HKIA,” says Ian Taylor, Arup director for aviation
projects in East Asia.

“We will continue to maintain a good relationship with the AA; one
that extends from the very earliest days of the original airport
planning and the lead consultant designing Terminal 1, through to
today on numerous assignments” adds K M Yeung, Mott MacDonald
Managing Director for Hong Kong.

Mott MacDonald and Arup have worked together on many similar
projects, including HKIA and Heathrow Terminal 5 and individually
have played key roles in many major airport projects around the
world.
